Amankila

Rising above the Lombok Strait on Bali’s quieter eastern coastline, Amankila is a serene hillside retreat where volcanic landscapes, tropical forests, and ocean horizons converge in effortless harmony. Inspired by the royal water palaces of nearby Karangasem, the resort cascades down the hillside through a series of open-air pavilions, stone pathways, and lush gardens, creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature. The atmosphere is defined by a sense of tranquillity and timelessness, shaped by sea breezes, sweeping coastal views, and the enduring traditions of eastern Bali.

Suites are elevated on stilts and thoughtfully positioned to maximise privacy and views, blending traditional Balinese design elements with understated contemporary comfort. Days can be spent exploring ancient temples, rural villages, and the dramatic landscapes of eastern Bali, or enjoying sailing, snorkelling, and diving in the clear waters of the surrounding coastline. At the heart of the resort, the iconic three-tier infinity pool appears to flow towards the sea below, while wellness experiences and leisurely dining celebrate the island’s natural abundance and rich culinary heritage.

Deeply connected to the cultural and environmental identity of Bali, Amankila embraces a philosophy of hospitality centred on authenticity, stewardship, and meaningful engagement with place. Through support for local communities, preservation of traditional craftsmanship, and experiences that honour the island’s heritage, the resort offers an immersive expression of Bali’s quieter and more contemplative side.
